Reviews

[Tracey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting. I wrote a review and it is gone! Anyway, this was a good book for school needing to start their improvement process. I found the book dated since we have already implemented so many of these strategies are are very far along in the process.

An excellent follow-up to her first book on leadership capacity. I refer back to her work over and over again in my professional activities because her thinking is accessible and can be easily applied in any school setting.
